A freedom of information request has revealed that only one robot was ever a Luxembourg civil servant.
During the great cross-border worker shortage between around 1940 and '44 several thousand funky robots were created and put to work around the country. Many are still toiling away in banks, insurance companies and mines. Now retired in Sicily, Cyborg number 237A told us, "I was the only robot who bothered learning Luxembourgish, so I was put to work at the SNCA. But after a few months I got shit-canned because I liked to small talk with customers and make them feel welcome." "I also refused to turn people away if they were two minutes early or late to exchange their driving licences, but I was the only one doing that unfortunately." It also told us how it nearly went on a random killing spree with a group of other 'bots after a few beers one night in the Grund. "Ah yeah!" it chuckled. "That would have been funny actually, I wish I went with that idea now."
